A first look image of the series, which is set to hit our screens in 2027, has also been shared, with newcomer Dominic McLaughlin dressed in his Gryffindor robes as Harry Potter.

With shooting on Harry Potter underway, a sneak peek at Nick Frost as the new Rubeus Hagrid has been revealed, and he doesn't look that different from what we saw in the movies starring Robbie

Nick Frost is Rubeus Hagrid in the latest first-look image from HBO’s highly-anticipated Harry Potter series. Frost can be seen as the cuddly gamekeeper in his robes, made famous by the late Robbie Coltrane’s depiction of Hagrid in the iconic noughties movies.

Harry Potter films have a fandom of their own, and it surely is not a small one. The film series is based on the novel of the same name by J.K. Rowling, and first premiered in 2001.

The trio join the already cast John Lithgow, Janet McTeer, Paapa Essiedu, Nick Frost, Luke Thallon and Paul Whitehouse, who will play Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, Hagrid, Quirrell and Filch respectively. Warner Bros have now released the first official image from the series of McLaughlin as the titular character as filming has now begun.

The next addition to the franchise is HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series. While the movies are known to be well-made, they certainly do skip some details. One such detail is Voldemort's desire to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. In fact, he applied for the position twice and, unsurprisingly, did not land it.
